Alt tag using photoshop
-
Simple question i think. Ive started adding alt tags to images using the slice tool in photoshop. This takes up a menu were the last part of is alt tag:
This way to add alt tags does work right? I used SEO-browser afterwards and couldnt see the tag. There are maybe other better ways to see if your tags are in there ?

Spot on - thanks. Ive just been adding the alt text saving it the regular way. I just have to use save for web devices and specify.

Thanks. So I actuallyhave to consider file name of image, title text of image and alt text.
The website we are using is delivered from a company - so quite some of the coding etc isnt accessible by me. I am just adding the picture and text. So my way to do this i guess have to be to 'mark' the image with the necessary info before uploading it to the site.
I think i use title text. When clicking image on our website that takes you to the product page where there is a description of the product or image. At least when i use seo-browser part of this product info seems to be applied to the picture but not in full (eg when I profile a product image on home page) there is a part of this product info shown when opening source of homepage.
EDIT: I might have to talk to my webshop provider. My basic knowledge is a bit sparse but it isnt possible to add HTML to an image file eg .jpg and still keep it in an image file format ? What i do basically in our webshop is to upload the image in the 'right' folder and then add the image text. This is done for maybe 70-100 products 2-3 times a year. Adding it in the code isnt available to me and doesnt seem like an option with this volume ?
Anyone have any ideas ?

This feature is a little confusing. Alt text is an attribute of the img tag in HTML, so this would normally be outside the realm of photoshop. To use the photoshop alt text feature, you need to export the HTML for the image when you're saving it.
See http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/photoshop/images.html under the heading "Exporting HTML from photoshop".
Once you've exported the html, you can paste it into your html document. To me, its all much more complicated than simply typing out < img src="myimage.jpg" alt="My alt text" / > but that may be due to my technical background.

Also, you might consider adding title text as well to your images. Here's a Search Engine Journal post about it. The title is less important for SEO, but can enhance the experience users.

If you view the source of your page (hitting cntl +u should do this), and find the image on the page, it should have an alt attribute on it. For example:

What heading tag to use on sidebars and footers
Hello, I have some awareness of how to use H1, H2 and H3.
On-Page Optimization | | kowston
H1 only once per page as the main page heading.
H2's should be subheadings, H3's are sub-sub headings of the and so on.
This structure gives hierarchy and opportunities to use additional keywords in an order of priority. I can clearly understand how this would work in an article but what about other content on the page such as global/frequently repeated elements like sidebars and footers? I see sites - and in particular, I have examed SEO focused sites - that use H3, H4 and H5 in these instances seemingly giving themselves scope to use at least H2 tags as part of the page content and break out of the structure hierarchy when dealing with sidebars and footers. I suppose this could signal theses headings are sections of the page that are less relevant than the main article content but that is just an assumption. I don't know what is correct.0 -

Commas in title tags
Hello Guys, Thanks in advance for all who can help me with this I am helping a dinnerware company with their SEO. I told them to change their ambiguous title tags for more specific ones. However, they opted to create some title tags with 2 or three keywords separated by commas. I have attached an excel image illustrating their new title tags.. My question is, will this format be a problem with Google--penalties? The questionable title tags are highlighted in light orange. Thanks! lHH92

All the basics of this webshop is through a company that have some 300 other sites. 2-4 times a year arond 100 products have to be added to the shop. Pictures are of course highly important. Some pictures are supplied by producer of clothes some we have to take ourself. Pictures supplied by producer is not tagged. When we are adding a product; avail sizes,prices, product description, which folder it is to be shown in etc is added. Pictures are added but there is no functionality for adding alt tag to the pictures.

Do we need to use the canonical tag on non-indexed pages?
Hi there I have been working in / learning SEO for just over a year, coming from a non dev background, so there are still plenty of the finer points on-page points I am working on. Slowly building up confidence and knowledge with the great SEOMoz as a reference! We are working on this site http://www.preciseuk.co.uk (we are still tweaking the tags and content by the way- not finished yet!) Because a lot of the information is within accordians, a page is generated for each tab of the accordian expanded, for example: http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php is the main page but then you also have: http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=0 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=1 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=2 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=3 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=4 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=5 All of which are in the same file. According to the crawl test, these pages are not indexed. Because it is all in one file, should we add the canonical tag to it, so that this is replicated in all the tab pages that are generated? eg. Thanks in advance for your help! Liz OneResult
